Vectra Human Risk Management combines phishing simulations and security awareness training to help users recognise social engineering, make safer decisions and report suspicious activity earlier. Choose the depth and flexibility of KnowBe4, or integrate awareness directly into Check Point Email Security.
Email security, endpoint protection and identity controls stop a large amount of malicious activity before a user ever sees it. But phishing, impersonation, credential theft and social engineering are deliberately designed to influence the decisions people make when something reaches them.
A mature awareness programme therefore does more than assign training once a year. It creates a cycle of realistic testing, relevant learning, reinforcement and measurement so the organisation can see whether user behaviour is actually improving.
The goal is not a perfect simulation score. The goal is fewer risky actions and faster reporting when a real attack arrives.
Run an initial simulation to establish how users recognise, interact with and report suspicious messages.
Run ongoing phishing simulations using scenarios relevant to modern email and social-engineering attacks.
Deliver concise awareness training covering the risks users are most likely to encounter in their role and environment.
Use immediate feedback, targeted training and repeat campaigns to improve behaviour without creating training fatigue.
Monitor trends by user, group or organisation and focus future activity on the areas creating the greatest human risk.
Vectra supports both KnowBe4 and Check Point Email Security. They solve the same core problem in different ways: one is a dedicated Human Risk Management platform; the other brings phishing simulation and awareness training directly into the email-security platform.
KnowBe4 is the stronger fit when security awareness is a dedicated programme in its own right. Its current AI-Native Security Awareness Training combines training, phishing and vishing simulation, real-time coaching, user risk scoring and extensive analytics inside a standalone platform.
For organisations already using Check Point Email Security, Security Awareness Training can be added directly to the existing platform. This simplifies deployment, user targeting and reporting while keeping phishing testing close to the email controls protecting the organisation.
Both platforms can deliver a strong security-awareness programme. The choice is mainly about how much depth you need and whether consolidation into the email-security platform is valuable.
Vectra can manage the ongoing Human Risk Management programme on either supported platform. That includes campaign planning, user management, phishing simulation, training assignment, reporting and continuous improvement.
Customers can also operate the platform internally, or use a co-managed model where Vectra handles the technical and campaign administration while internal teams own communications and culture.
The exact programme is tailored to the organisation, but a practical managed service can use the following structure.
Initial phishing simulation, mandatory foundation training and onboarding awareness for new employees.
Ongoing unannounced simulations spread across the user population so testing becomes part of normal security behaviour.
Short, relevant learning aligned to current risks, policy requirements and lessons from recent simulation outcomes.
Additional coaching, remedial training or focused simulations for teams or users showing higher-risk behaviour.
Recognise suspicious messages, unsafe links, fake login pages and attempts to capture usernames, passwords or MFA details.
Identify urgent payment requests, supplier impersonation, executive spoofing and attempts to bypass normal approval processes.
Build awareness of QR-code attacks and messages designed to shift users from protected corporate devices into less visible channels.
Recognise manipulation techniques based on authority, fear, curiosity, urgency and familiarity.
Reinforce secure authentication behaviour, password hygiene, MFA prompts and the need to report unexpected access attempts.
Support awareness around sensitive information, cloud sharing, collaboration tools and organisational security policies.
A user completing an awareness module does not automatically mean risk has changed. Vectra uses the reporting available in the selected platform to look at behaviour over time and identify where additional focus is required.
Vectra helps select, procure and deploy KnowBe4 or Check Point SAT, then hands day-to-day campaign management to your internal security or IT team.
Vectra manages configuration, campaigns and reporting while your internal team owns user communications, policy and organisational change.
Vectra handles onboarding, recurring simulations, training campaigns, reporting and ongoing improvement as an operational service.
Human Risk Management is the ongoing process of identifying, reducing and measuring cyber risk created by user behaviour. In this service, the focus is phishing simulation, security awareness training, reinforcement and reporting rather than relying on a once-a-year training exercise.
Yes. Vectra is a KnowBe4 partner and can provide procurement, implementation, campaign design, reporting and fully managed or co-managed security-awareness programmes.
Check Point Email Security offers Security Awareness Training as an additional capability. It supports phishing simulations, awareness-training policies and reporting for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace environments.
For an existing Check Point Email Security customer, the main advantage is integration. Phishing simulations can be inserted directly into supported user mailboxes via API, avoiding traditional simulation-delivery allowlisting, while training, targeting and reporting remain close to the existing email-security platform.
KnowBe4 is a dedicated Human Risk Management and security-awareness platform. It is generally the stronger fit where an organisation wants deeper customisation, a larger content library, broader simulation options, risk scoring, real-time coaching and more sophisticated programme automation and analytics.
Frequency should be high enough to reinforce behaviour without making testing predictable or creating user fatigue. A common managed approach is randomised monthly simulation activity with periodic awareness training and additional targeted follow-up where needed.
Organisations should communicate that phishing simulations form part of the security-awareness programme, but they generally do not need to announce the timing or content of individual tests. Internal HR, privacy, legal or industrial requirements should be considered when defining the programme.
Yes. Vectra can manage platform configuration, user synchronisation, recurring phishing campaigns, training assignment, targeted remediation, reporting and ongoing programme improvement on either supported platform.
